HYDROCARBQN-BURNER.

To all whom it may concern: 'ISe it known that I, ADAM B. BRUNER, acitlzen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county ofLos Angeles and State of California, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Hy 'lroearbon-Burners, of which the following is aspecification. rl`he object of my invention is to provide simple andreliable means to control the discharge orifice or mouth of the burnerand to that end I provide means whereby the flame can be expanded orcontracted at will and thereby eject into the furnace a broad flame or anarrow one or limit the width of the same as desired. I accom lish thisobject by means of the device descrlbed herein and shown in theaccompanying drawings, in which Figure 1- is a side elevation of myimproved burner partly broken away and partly in section. Fig. 2- is aplan view of the burner tip with my nozzle regulating means in placethereon, the burner t1p being partly broken away. Fi 3- is an end viewofthe burner tip wlth my regulating means shown in its o en position. -Fig. 4 is a transverse centrali section of the burner tip.

The steam and oil are fed to the burner tip inthe usual well knownmanner, that is to say the steam is fed to the burner through pipe 1 andthe oil through pipe 2 and after being vaporized and mingled togetherpass out through the burner tip 3 in the usual manner. The burner tip isprovided with an adjustable flaring discharge port 4. This port isadapted to be opened and closed as desired by means of the swing jaws 5.These jaws are pivoted at'6 and are opened and closed by the regulatingstems or rods.

7 which project backwardly out of the furnace and terminate in a handle8 easily accessible to the fireman.

In Figs. 1 and 2 I have shown the orifice in the burner tip in its broadopen position in full lines, in which position it is adapted to ejectinto the'combustion chamber of the furnace the atomized hydrocarbonwhich is converted into a broader fan-sha ed fiame. In Fig. 2 I haveshown in dotted ines these movable 'aws in their closed position. Projectin ownwardly across t-he discharge openi g I have rovided the bolt 9which is adapted to divide the flame into two parts Specification ofLetters Patent.

and at the same time to provide an 1abutment against which the swingingjaws will contact when the burner is closed. This bolt 9 also providesmeans whereby the flame may be divided so as to not impinge against thebelly `of the boiler where mud and sediment usually accumulate inhorizontal boilers, thus protecting the boiler from excessive heat atthat particular l oint.

It will be manifest by t e construction shown in the accompanyindrawings and described herein that the ame discharged from the burnertip canwbe-thrown to the rightor left Orrin a fan-sha ed sheet of flameas desired ifit can be tirown into a central sheet into theenter of thecombustion chamber giving the attendant ample control over the same; Itwill also be observed that by the operation of the jaws 5 that theburner outlet will be free of all accumulations, thus readily enablinthe op` erator to cleanse the burner tip wit out the v necessity ofremoving the burner from theV 1. In a hydrocarbon burner, a burner tipprovided with a fuel discharge slot, a plurality ot closures pivotallymounted in said slot, said closures being movable in a horizontal planewith respect to the burner discharge slot, and a separate control meansfor each closure.

2. In a hydrocarbon burner, a burner tip provided with a fuel dischargeslot, a plurality of closures pivotally mounted within said slot, flamedividing means secured to said tip in saidl discharge slet, and means tocontrol the movement oi said closures.

3. In a` hydrocarbon burner, a burner tip provided with. a horizontallydisposed fuel discharge slot, a pair of closures pivotally mountedwithin said slot near the ends discharge slot, a pair of fan-shapedclosures" pivotally mounted within said slot near the ends thereof, anda controlling rod` pivotally securedto each closure.

l5.. IrreJ hydrocarbon burner, a burner tip' .provided with a. fueldischarge slot, said burner ti aidapted toproject WthineJ com- 'bustionc amber, a pair of closures pivotally 5monted within said slot., androds to control the movement of said closures, said rods v'e'z'ztendingwithout vthe combustion chamber.
